阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow
river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly
trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of
the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.
He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface.
No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water
again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.
Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the
scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and
fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.
He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift
movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into
the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for
saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.
At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He
approached the saint and said,
“Yes, you may. ”
“Can I ask you a question please? ”
“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if
you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I
still went on. Why? ”
’m surprised that even after it stung you, you
“Oh! That’pretty s simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other.
“This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to
sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a
person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one
higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am
supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”
The man nodded.

历史类
I t’s the worst event in human being’s nautical
（航海的）
history , six times more deadly than
the Titanic . When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes
（鱼雷）
fired
from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II , more than 10,000 people – mostly
women , children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany – were
packed aboard .
An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding
into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down . Others desperately tried to put lifeboats
down . Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw
their way aboard . Most people froze immediately . “ I’ll never forget the screams , a ”
Ntitzmann , 87 , one of the 1,200 survivors . She recalls watching the ship , brightly lit , slipping
into its dark grave-and into seeming nothingness , rarely mentioned for more than half a century .
Now Germany’s Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has revived the memory of the
9,000 dead , including more than 4,000 children-with his latest novel Crab Walk , published last
month . The book ,which will be out in English next year , doesn’t dwell on the sinking : its
heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later : “ Nobody
wanted to hear about it , not here in the West ( of Germany ) and not at all in the East .
The reason was obvious . As Grass put in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche :
“ Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant , we didn’
the energy left to tell of our own sufferings . ” The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm
Gustloff was probably unavoidable – and necessary .
By unreservedly owning up to their country’s monstrous crimes in the Second World War ,
Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad , marginalize the neo-Nazis at home and make
peace with their neighbors .
Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long ,

t
troubled history . For that , a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the
German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay . But even the most politically correct
Germans believe that they’ve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record . Not to
equate German suffering with that of its victims , but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy .
